What does "going green" mean to me?

I must admit that when I first saw an assignment titled "Going Green" , I didn't quite know what to expect. Was this another art project? Would I have to paint my face and chest with green paint and attend a Packers versus Giants football game for extra credit? Would I have to sing a duet with Kermit and Miss Piggy? Would I have to eat lots of fruit and leafy, green vegetables and well, you know, literally go green? Happily, no to all of those images. Through the process of researching the earth's limited natural resources and studying the effect legislature, the economy and science have on developing technology, I now understand the real significance of the phrase "going green". Going Green is a personal choice for all Americans . To me, it means ensuring that there will be fresh, green pasture for my horses, clean air and water for my children and grandchildren and newer technologies making my life longer and more enjoyable.
